I write to clarify the situation that was the subject of your front page story “No Woodstock experience for Highland” (www.riverreporter.com/news/4302/2014/08/27/no-woodstock-experience-highland). All references to the property and the concern that the town had with events taking place on the property in August pertain to the new owner, 211 Mail Road LLC. The town would like to make clear that Sokol aka Sokol USA and Sokol Woodlands Inc. was a fine taxpaying entity for many decades and a good neighbor. Sokol sold the property in June, 2014. There was never a violation or even a complaint about its operation.

We welcome the new owner, 211 Mail Road LLC and hope that it will be as good for the community as was their predecessor, Sokol Woodlands Inc.

Andrew Boyar, Supervisor

Town of Highland
